Denver

Lyrics

[Chorus] Wonder, oh, why this ever had to be? (Uh-huh) So many losing hope in those dreams that they— [Verse 1] Walkin' past the homeless in a Rolex Just got off the stage on the TODAY Show and I basically felt soulless Years go by and I keep saying I'm gon' use my phone less But I should just be phone-less Ignorance is bliss and so is bein' underground 'Cause it was fun when we were known less Sorry, that's cliche, I know I'm so blessed But Jason keeps on tellin' me, "Say yes" And truth be told, I know he knows best But I don't wanna do no press I've seen enough of me on this lil' screen I've become so vain and insecure 'bout everything I feel all this pressure to live up to what they tell me I'm gon' be So I isolate myself, you can't help me, it's on me I'm hidin' any sign of weakness from my guys I don't want 'em second-guessin' with me Nemo said to keep my foot on necks 'cause I can't let 'em just forget me But the brags in my raps are getting less and less convincing So I'd rather just (Wonder) [Chorus] Oh, why this ever had to be?
